Big Sister wasn't there, either? Where did she go? After Quentin, whose mind was full of question
marks, hung up, he saw Louis and Warren looking at him eagerly and waiting for him to make the
decision.
Quentin frowned.
"When Joel went to bail her out, they gave him a very strange reason for rejecting the bail request,
which made me feel that Nora must have gotten herself in trouble.
Next to him, Louis exclaimed, "Surely she didn't really cheat someone of money, did she?!"
Quentin and Warren both looked at him.
"What are you talking about?"
Louis said with certainty, "Think about it—she's just someone from a small town in California.How could
she possibly own a card with no credit limit? I already found it very strange that time.Maybe she's
involved in a fraud syndicate!"
Warren and Maureen looked at each other.
Maureen also stroked her chin and said hesitantly, "Now that you put it that way, Nora also knows a
relatively impressive hacker called Solo!"
"Solo?" Quentin frowned.
"I know that guy.He's an international hacker who's on a wanted list overseas! Why is Nora involved
with him?"
Maureen and Warren looked at each other.
Louis came to a conclusion.
"It's all over.It looks like Nora is gonna be involved in other kinds of trouble even without the medical
malpractice incident this time! Besides, I heard that Old Maddy's situation isn't looking good!"
Warren nodded.
"It's precisely because we heard that Old Maddy is still unconscious that Maureen and I are so
anxious.On top of that, his vitals are slowly declining...His organs are already beginning to fail! That's
why we were trying to think of a solution.Sigh!"
Louis said, "It's over, it's all over! From the start, Uncle lan disliked Nora, yet she's gotten herself in so
much trouble now...Quentin, what should we do?"
"...There's only one way out now" said Quentin.
"What is it?"
"Breaking her out of prison."
At the police station.
After patrolling the hospital for a while, Morris came back to continue interrogating Nora.
Nora was still sitting like a big boss.
She leaned against the chair, stared at him, and said, "You've looked into everything, right? So, can I
go to the hospital to save my patient now?"
Morris, who had a huge frown on his face, stared at the woman in front of him.
His men had indeed investigated what had happened, and also questioned the Smiths' servants.
All of them testified that Nora hadn't used any drugs when she was treating Old Maddy.
Instead, she had performed acupuncture on him.
He looked at Nora sternly.
"You're not allowed to leave until we have an outcome with the investigations" Nora's eyes darkened a
little.
Her voice gradually became cold.
"Captain Ford, I don't know what you're investigating, but someone is waiting for me to save his life
right now! The more time you waste here, the higher the likelihood that Old Maddy isn't going to
survive!"
Morris' expression remained unchanged.
He said, "There are so many doctors in the hospital, Ms.Smith.Our medical examiners have also
hurried over.I heard that the Hunts have also sent doctors over.It doesn't seem like there will be any
problem even if you aren't there"
Nora frowned and gradually became impatient.
"So, is Captain Ford going to take responsibility if he dies?"
She had already been detained for more than six hours.
In other words, she had been repeatedly interrogated by a stream of people, and hadn't slept for six
hours! Her physical discomfort was gradually making her irritable.
Morris, however, stared hard at her and said, "It seems to me that what Ms.Smith wants isn't to go over
and treat the patient but to take the opportunity to escape, right?"
The frowning Nora was perplexed.
"If you don't trust me, then ask your men to go with me!"
Morris sneered, "If I let you leave, Ms.Smith, I'm afraid even my men won't be able to hold you back"
After all, they had already been fooled once twenty years ago!
Nora was lost for words.
She'd clearly had a pretty good impression of Morris when she interacted with him previously, but for
some reason, his attitude had changed drastically this time.
Morris had tried to sound her out previously, but he had also indirectly protected her.
However, he was completely hostile and was also treating her like she was a murderer now.
What had happened? She didn't understand.
However, she wasn't interested in figuring it out at the moment, either.
She stood up and said, "Captain Ford, I am Old Maddy's attending doctor.Now that something has
happened to him, I am obligated to treat him! If you continue to detain me, then don't blame me if I
don't hold back anymore!"
Nora flexed her wrists as she spoke.
Her personality had always been this way.
Once she lost her temper, she didn't give two hoots about anything anymore.
Even if this was the police station, it wasn't going to stop her from going out to treat Old Maddy! Morris
sneered at the stance she had taken.
He asked unhurriedly, "And how exactly are you planning to not hold back, Ms.Smith?"
Together with his words, the two men beside him immediately took out their guns and pointed them at
Nora
Nora narrowed her eyes.
Right at this moment, a deep and aggressive voice suddenly came from the door.
"Captain Ford, don't you think you owe me an explanation for treating my fiancee like that?"
As the voice rang out, someone suddenly opened the door. Justin appeared at the door.
The big and tall man stood right there, the aura around him increasing sharply and weighing down on
Morris.
Morris got up when he saw him, though he was neither lowly nor overbearing.
"Mr.Hunt'’ Justin had already strode into the room.
Behind Justin was a veteran lawyer from the Hunts.
He had never lost any of the cases he took over the years.
Morris and Justin stood face to face.
The two men were equally matched, neither of them losing out to the other in momentum.
Justin glanced at Nora, who was standing at the other side.
There was nothing wrong with her, except that her docile-looking almond-shaped eyes that usually
looked a little lazy were looking a little angry.
This made the look in Justin's eyes turn even colder.
He looked straight at Morris and said, "Captain Ford, shouldn' t you give me an explanation for
detaining my fiance without any reason?"
Morris cast his eyes down but remained very aggressive.
He replied, "My apologies, Mr.Hunt, but your fiancee is involved in a confidential case.I am not at liberty
to disclose any information."
Justin narrowed his sharp eyes.
"Captain Ford, perhaps there's one thing you don't understand—Ms.Smith is my fiancee; she's not
someone whom you can just arrest so casually.If you can't produce any actual evidence, then I'm
taking my fiance with me!"
Both the Hunts and the Smiths were powerful families.
If one wanted to arrest anyone from the two families, they needed evidence.
They weren't allowed to just use a random excuse to detain them.
Their reason for detaining Nora today was medical malpractice.
However, given how they were still in the midst of trying to save Old Maddy, it was indeed too much to
imprison his attending doctor.
Moreover, the doctor in question was even Justin's fiancee.
The captain of the police station was already pacing back and forth nervously at the door.
He had Morris on one hand and Justin on the other.
Neither of them was a person he could mess with.
How was he supposed to wrap up the incident? While he was thinking about it, Morris said
aggressively, "My apologies, Mr.Hunt, but you are not allowed to take her with you until Old Maddy's
blood report is out"
A blood report...
A puzzled Justin cast a glance at Nora.
Nevertheless, he remained as aggressive as ever as he said, "I don't care what you're investigating,
Captain Ford, I'm here to bail my fiancee out.If you can't produce any evidence that she has committed
a crime, then you have to let her go.I should think that my fiancee has the right to be released on bail!
Or do you intend to deprive her of her rights as a citizen of the United States?"
His words shut Morris up.
Seeing that he couldn't say anything anymore, Justin walked toward Nora and grabbed her hand.
He said, "Captain Ford, if you have nothing else to say, then we're leaving."
However, Morris stopped them as the two reached the door.
He looked at Nora firmly and said, "I repeat, Ms.Smith is not allowed to leave the police station until Old
Maddy's blood report is out!"
Justin frowned and took a step forward.
Morris immediately warned him coldly, "Mr.Hunt, you have always been a law-abiding model citizen! I
am completely authorized to arrest Nora Smith.Are you planning to assault the police and break her
out?"
Assaulting the police and breaking someone out...
Both charges, no matter which, were extremely serious ones! Justin sneered, "Just what exactly is
happening—you detaining my fiancee for no reason, or me breaking her out?"
The two went head-to-head with each other! For a while, the interrogation room was filled with pin-drop
silence.
Even though they didn't do anything, everyone could nevertheless feel just how tense the two of them
were.
It was as if they would draw their guns the very next moment! The captain of the police station rushed
in and stood in between the two men at this point.
He said, "Captain Ford, Mr.Hunt, calm down.Let's calm down and talk it out..."
He looked at Morris and said, "Captain Ford, w-why don't you show him the arrest warrant...? It would
be terrible if Mr.Hunt really misunderstands!"
